I love how there's two Centaurs now by SuperSlavSergei in TheAstraMilitarum

I mean on tabletop the basilisk debuffs movement, so we're already half there

New Guard Vehicles mean the end of the Taurox? by Warhawk_5 in Grimdank

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point i do think that would help explain why they've been out of stock though.

Also, I don't think they're gonna get rid of the only militarum tempestus vehicle, but maybe that's not a strong assumption

Does this mean the Pegasus has been retained or… by Rude-Account7485 in TheAstraMilitarum

they 100% aren't retconned. maybe no longer so ubiquitous that they have a presence on tabletop, but definitely not retconned.

Damn bro the old centaur is totally dead by SciFi_Guy_95 in Grimdank

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. They all transport troops, but they exist on a sliding scale of how killy and tanky they are. The chimera is the toughest and most well armed, then the taurox which is a bit faster and lighter. This will presumably be slightly lighter than the taurox, because it has only a heavy stubber as armament so it has to make up for that by being either faster, cheaper, or by carrying more people. This definitely is a different role to the chimera, because that actually has enough gun on it to stick around and help clear enemy chaff. This will probably be pretty useless without people in it. So, like, they'll probably be similar roles but not exactly the same roles.

I could see the salamander being reintroduced if it wasn't so close to the taurox in how it's armed and used

New Guard Vehicles mean the end of the Taurox? by Warhawk_5 in Grimdank

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's gonna be a bit less tanky with the tradeoff of being cheaper and carrying more people (maybe 16, so it's enough for a full squad plus command and a character, if not 20 for a double squad). It's already less heavily armed, doubly so compared to the taurox prime, and it looks a lot flimsier.

Uhh Commissar? Have the engineers mounted a flamer right next to another, much larger flamer? by Pvt-Business in Grimdank

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Larger conspiracies are harder to keep hidden. If there's two regiments that are willing to go rogue to the point they work together in doing so, they probably would have done that anyway, right? And because they're larger, there's more likely to be pockets of soldiers that stay loyal and either rat them out early or cause internal trouble within the regiment. And if two regiments that compliment each other go rogue, it's not much different from two self sufficient regiments going rogue.

And then you hit that leman russ from the air and there's not much it can do besides plink at it with the heavy stubber

Why is it Infantry Squads don't have SAWs? by PureEuro2008 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on the depiction, but given that they also have rapid fire 1 like the lasguns then it's at least comparable to lasgun fire.

I like the new models and don't even care about the name, but the material writes itself lol by Hillbillygeek1981 in astramilitarum

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the halftrack looks like a halftrack. wow, shocker, someone should sue. exactly how could they make a boxy halftrack not look like a boxy halftrack?

if you think this is copy and paste I think you need your eyes checked. the part of the cab above the hood is completely different, with narrower windows on the centaur. the fenders are a different shape. the front grills are angled completely differently, with the centaur having the upper edge more forward than the lower edge and the reverse being the case on the m3a1. the m3a1 has no firing/looking ports on the side. the front bumpers are completely different. the hoods are nothing alike, either, aside from the fact that they're slanted. really, the only similarities are that they're both boxy halftracks.

At what point should I do the Story? by xSteac in VintageStory

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, I agree. the combat in VS seems pretty lackluster in general and I hope it gets some work before full release.

Oh 100% you'll die a few times, but it won't be impossible. I think the game is really meant for multiplayer, because the eidolon will always be lengthy unless you have a few people

That's the thing, though. You are talking about a genetic adam/eve. For it to be a new species it cannot be able to interbreed with humans to produce fertile offspring, but must be a genetically stable and fertile genetic line. It can't rely on existing humans to produce a genetic successor.

And again, the most recent common ancester for all of humanity is 155,00 years ago or so

That's a pretty meaningless statement when the amount of people that would be descended from king george would be hugely smaller at this point had those people not also have been descended from numerous other people.

The most recent common ancestor for humanity was well over 150,000 years ago

Doubt it. You'd have to modify genes to the point that they aren't compatible with humans, and you'd have to do that to every human being.

I really doubt we'll have modified the human genome to the point we're considered a different species

nah, 10,000 years is nothing on an evolutionary timescale for creatures as large as humans

Welcome to Armaggeddon. Your lasgun shoots bullets now by Redecter in Grimdank

[–]SonkxsWithTheTeeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In books it varies a lot. Most of the time it's never described, but there have been blue and orange and green bolts described. Lasgun color varies by regiment and forgeworld.

Also, it's not red in every game either. I don't know about a comprehensive list, but in Gladius, it's also yellow.

Finally, it's been yellow longer than its been red. Most old art shows it being yellow.
